.....I can do this as before, but it would be better someone in Florida because of time-lag.

Agreed..... No offense Pocci but he's got a pretty good point. Uri and I once watch a landing "together" and there was major lag. (I'm in Chicago, He's in Israel)

To clarify the quoting: You quoted bradlyjs who quoted me.
"[...] it would be better someone in Florida [...]" are my words and we all have the same opinion (and the same good point).

The whole "speaking the countdown via Teamspeak" is only necessary, should there be someone in Teamspeak but not watching NASA-TV.

OK, that could be, if someone would need to watch NASA-TV via internet, but has no 2nd computer for SSM2007 as it is as far as I know not possible to run the sim in windowed mode.

Hey Admin, how about an ingame NASA-TV Window?
That would be nice to have on the F11-mission-control-view?
Do you want me to post that in the suggestion forum?

...Is officially giving credit where credit is due: GREAT POST POCCI, AND I AGREE WITH YOU.   


Hopefully, "That person" in Florida had Direct TV, Which has the NASA Channel on it.

Hopefully everybody has NASA-TV on whatever channel he or she likes,
so that "that person in Florida" is not needed at all.

Here is a countdown

All these web-based countdowns are nice, but not useful, because they all can't be adapted to the lag between NASA-TV and your local time.

Even my excel countdown can't do that (now).
But it will be able to in some hours, when I am back home and have more time for programming.
When I have done it, I repost the link here.
For the time being, I have corrected a little error in calculating the hold-end-times of holds in the past. (The future holds are correct.)

BTW, has anybody downloaded my file and really uses it?
I don't want to spam the forum with my private programming.

AFAIK this countdown is synced to NASA one. If you watch the code inside that gadghet, its connects to NASA servers

So i guess its very accurate one, at least the most accurate one i found by now

[Pocci]

It is good to have a countdown that is connected to the NASA server,
(it will help determining the correct holding durations)
but even NASA does not know how many seconds behind real life is their NASA-TV playing on my (and your and every Teamspeak user's) screen.

[marvx]

if you want we can meet tonite in TS to test the clock accuracy

22:00 is ok?

/Marvx

[Pocci]

OK, let's hope, that NASA-TV is broadcasting their countdown as well from time to time.

22:00 (20:00 UTC for those, that wish to join).
That will be 2 hours after begin of the T-11 hours hold.
We might try to meet 3 hours earlier.

I'm making a nice set up for tomorrow so I have to decide. SSM-2007 on projector or NASA-TV on projector or NSF on projector. Hmmm 

[bradleyjs]

OK, so I volunteered yesterday to be the "Florida person" -- I'm no longer required, right?

I feel so useless now....      j/k

[Pocci]

OK, so I volunteered yesterday to be the "Florida person" -- I'm no longer required, right?

As I said, It depends:
If everybody has access to NASA-TV, you are not required. 
If only one guy has no TV access, I would vote for you.

Whatever you decide, you should publish a pic of the setup "in action"!
